After months of hiding your legs in trousers or tights, it’s time to get legs summer ready. Baring your legs doesn’t need to be uncomfortable. With just a few steps, your legs will be glowing again and you’ll be ready to rock a skirt, dress or pair of shorts. Here are a few tricks to getting beautiful legs for summer.

Preparation

Exfoliate, exfoliate, exfoliate is your new mantra for summer. Using a body polish or exfoliator is the best way to eliminate dead skin cells to make your skin glow. It’s also key preparation if you want to fake tan as it’ll prevent any patches or streaks. A salt scrub will provide thorough exfoliation – you can make your own by mixing sea salt with olive oil.

Moisturise

Hydration is the key to soft and smooth legs. Massaging in a rich body cream will help to soothe and moisturise any dry areas – remember to pay extra attention to your knees and feet.

Problem areas

Suffering from cellulite or varicose veins doesn’t mean you need to hide your pins. For cellulite, dry brush your legs in an upwards motion after bathing. Doing this regularly, followed by a firming body cream or gel will help to increase circulation and improve the appearance of cellulite. You can then use a faux tan which will help to disguise both areas of cellulite and veins.

Faux tanning

Using a faux tan is the most effective method for getting your legs summer ready. You can use either a spray, cream or mousse – if you’re a beginner, a tinted tan is your foolproof tool for getting an even glow. Once your tan has developed, apply a shimmer body lotion or oil to enhance your bronzed glow.

Pedicure

Don’t forget your feet! Using a pumice stone to get rid of dry skin, applying a moisturising foot cream and using a beautiful coral nail polish will ensure you’re confidently showing off your gorgeous legs this summer.

Client Testimonial: “Jodie is extremely professional and knowledgeable throughout the IPL treatment sessions. She explains the process and what to expect so that you are put at ease from the first consultation. During my IPL sessions, Jodie marked up the areas and avoided any moles or damaged skin, then preps using the cooler handle before a light shot. The light shot itself really doesn’t hurt, it’s done in seconds. The fact the skin is cooled first makes this an easy process to tolerate. I genuinely didn’t feel in pain at all and Jodie applied a lovely aloe balm to soothe the skin straight away. If anything I felt my appointments were more of a therapy as I knew I would be hair free come my holiday. After each session I came away feeling the progress getting better and better and by week 5 there was hardly any hair growth. I didn’t feel the need to shave anymore. I felt more confident and there is much less maintenance at home now which means I have more time for other things. I would highly recommend IPL hair removal by SkinBase and with Jodie as she made me feel at ease from the moment I asked about it and the difference it makes is life changing for someone who wasn’t so confident in her skin. I can’t wait for Summer and my holiday. Thanks Jodie & SkinBase.”
